Need help evaluating a purchase (105.003 Speedmaster)

Yup. When one firsts starts out, it's easy to get worked up and convince yourself that this is the last straight lug Speedmaster that will ever be listed for sale and even though x is wrong and y and z are poor, I'd better buy the bloody thing now as its my last chance.

I nearly did exactly that a couple of years ago and the best advice I read was "be patient, others will show up".

Obviously this doesn't apply to all early Speedmasters, but at the minute, it still applies to 105.003's in my opinion.
